Earlier this year, legislation was announced that will limit the sale and use of single-use vapes from 2025. Now, a study has revealed that four out of every ten vape users are likely to turn to the black market for their supplies once the ban on disposables comes into effect.

The research was commissioned by nicotine pouch brand Ubbs and retailer Haypp, in light of the Government's commitment to a smoke-free Britain. "Nicotine pouches are a popular option which are supporting the UK with their goal of becoming a smoke free nation."
